      @monsterfox said in Queries Regarding VectorStyler 1.3: @VectorStyler Will a halftone effect with dot merging be added to the halftone panel in the future? In the case of the first image of this thread: The problem is not with dot merging, but with the shape of the halftone. Those halftones (first image) are created in postscript as images. So this exact case will not be added to the halftone panel. The second image from this thread might be possible, I have this in the backlog and will try to add it as soon as possible.

      @Daniel I love the ideas you've shared for the "simplify path" tool. I may end up using it a lot more as those ideas get added as @VectorStyler sees fit. I appreciate that VS has options for designers who need precise and exact edits to their curved paths and another option for those who are going for what looks good by sight for their art and are not needing something technical

      @monsterfox I added this to the backlog. Can you send me the file with the cropped mirror, just before expanding? Thanks!

      No, no other action taken. Just the node tool. I move around some nodes and change the node types and segment types in the context bar. I hold alt adjusting some handles and that's all. Then the bug occurs. I'm on windows 11. If you need any other info about my system, let me know. Feel free to PM also.

      @marce said in Font Preview Size: @fde101 when making books you work with styles, is true. Not just with books, but with just about any kind of formatted content - newsletters, newspapers, etc. But when working with illustrated books, covers, children activity books, etc, Covers are a different sort of beast, and are more of an illustration project than a publishing project. Agreed that the regular use of styles for a cover is not as relevant as for the body of a publication. On the other hand, I am less inclined to agree that styles lose relevance when making "illustrated books" or "children's activity books" - there is ultimately still a level at which consistency throughout such books is perfectly relevant when creating a cohesive product and while such books are likely to contain a larger number of illustrative works (which individually might fall outside the normal use of styles) there are still elements that tie these things together for which the primary use of styles is still a good idea. font choosing is important. That is true for any kind of project in which text is involved if that project is going to be distributed. Need of design are wide and people works their way. The standardized professional way of work offenly is bypassed by creative people. True, and sometimes that is completely appropriate, other times it is bypassed to the detriment of the outcome or to the time taken to achieve it. Different projects and different situations call for different ways of working and different sets of tools. As I said in my other post: again, that is for a desktop publishing app; for a tool such as VectorStyler, it makes enough sense to offer it separately if people find such a thing useful

      @Boldline i correct you Its no Problem to move, lets say the group of mirrored Objects. Just push the finish Button and you could move the whole group. If you in Mirror Mode only the original Object is movable or the mirror guides. Here a Video to show it.

      @Boldline "Save Selected", but first select the presets. Use the "Reveal Workspace Folder", go up one level and you will find a presets folder

      @VectorStyler Thanks, great! I see good potential in Vectorstyler layout capabilities. Maybe is not intended to that, or focused to that, but great to have them working properly.

      @Li-Xiao thanks for the tip. Yes bending is actually a good idea. I found it easy to control by grouping the path and blended shapes together before applying blending shape effect. Everything stays well connected

      @Daniel said in New "Quick pen tool" in Illustrator beta form seems to have features that tie in with potential arc tool in VS: Edit: I see it has become a subscription-based project now. $7 per year is still not much. Maybe I remembered wrong that it was free. Looks like the Mac and PC and Linux are still one purchase and web version is a subscription.

      @monsterfox said in Detail Optimizations for Version 1.3: @VectorStyler https://youtu.be/mk1Jyl9ENVA?feature=shared In VectorStyler, when drawing the first anchor point with the Pen Tool, itโ€™s not possible to generate two control handles. This results in a sharp corner when closing the path at the end. However, FreeHand allows generating two control handles, enabling a smooth transition when closing the path. Additionally, in FreeHand, while dragging a control handle and the mouse is still in the control state, holding the Ctrl key lets you move the anchor point for more precise adjustments. Currently, this doesnโ€™t seem to work in VectorStyler. These two aspects need optimization. I will open a bug on this, for later.

      Playing devil's advocate a little here - what is the next logical step by the user after they click "styles>repeater>create repeater" ? You see the repeater activate, but you are unable to edit the repeater in any way and the odds are, the repeater result would need some adjustments

      @VectorStyler I will gather some examples for you when I have the chance and then post them in this thread.
